The numbers, honestly.
Most case studies in this industry are marketing dressed up as math. Kaico publishes one kind of number: results we can verify from real call and booking data, reconciled against a real calendar. If we can't verify it, you won't read it here.
The case: Tri-Tech Auto Tinting
Tri-Tech Auto Tinting is an auto tint shop in Tulsa. As in most one-owner shops, the person who answers the phone is also the person doing the work, and the work happens under a car. When the owner is mid-job, he is not picking up.
So the phone did what unattended phones do. Calls rolled to voicemail. Most callers never left a message, and most of the ones who did never picked up when the owner called back that evening. Many of those callers were ready to book, and they simply moved on to the next shop in the search results.
This is the quiet leak in most trade businesses. Nobody writes "missed call" on a profit and loss statement, so nobody sees the cost. A tint job that never gets booked is revenue that never existed, and the owner never even knows it was there.
What we installed
Kaico set up an AI receptionist for Tri-Tech. It answers every call, 24/7, including nights and weekends. It books appointments straight onto the shop's calendar, and it texts back callers it could not help so nobody falls through the cracks. Spam and robocalls get screened out before they reach the owner. Real emergencies get transferred to a human. Every call produces a transcript the owner can read between jobs.
Setup took about a week. After that, the owner's job description went back to one line: tint cars.
The verified result
Bookings confirmed from system data, June 2026. The dollar figure uses the shop's average ticket, a number the owner provided.
That is the whole claim. Roughly seven bookings in one month that would have gone to voicemail, worth roughly $1,960 at the shop's average ticket. No projections, no "up to," no annualized anything. One shop, one month, is a small sample, and we would rather show you a small real number than a big invented one. As more months of data come in, this page grows.
How we verify
A number earns its way onto this page or it stays off. The process:
- It starts in the data. Every figure comes from call and booking system records, not from anyone's memory or a back-of-napkin estimate.
- It gets reconciled against the calendar. We check bookings against the owner's real calendar. If it is not on the calendar, it does not count.
- Test calls are stripped. Our own calls and setup tests are removed before anything is counted.
- Spam and junk are excluded. Robocalls, solicitors, and wrong numbers never make it into a result.
- Dollar figures come from the owner. We use the shop's own stated average ticket, not a projection, with the qualifiers left in.
If a number cannot pass that process, it is not published. That is why this page has one case study on it instead of ten. Want to check our work? Email trey@kaicovoice.com and ask.
